An enthralling Star Trek novel that centers around one of the most compelling bits from the second movie: the Kobayashi Maru, a training exercise that seeks to determine how a cadet will react to certain defeat and death. In the movie Kirk cheated to win. Here, Kirk and most of his senior officers are lost in a disabled shuttlecraft in space, with no hope of rescue. To pass the time, they share their accounts of their own ordeals at that time. I found Sulu's most enlightening, and Scotty's the most intriguing; after Kirk, he came the closest of anybody to beating the no-win scenario. (  ) burnit99 | Jan 10, 2007 |  An accident strands Kirk onboard a shuttle with McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, and Chekov. As the life-support systems on their small ship slowly fail, they pass the time by relating their experiences at Starfleet Academy, focusing on the Kobayashi Maru test---a no-win scenario.

| Book description |
|
A freak shuttlecraft accident -- and suddenly Captain Kirk and most of his senior officers find themselves adrift in space, with no hope of rescue, no hope of repairing their craft, or restoring communications -- with nothing, in short but time on their hands.
Time enough for each to tell the story of the Kobayashi Maru -- the Starfleet Academy test given to command cadets. Nominally a tactical exercise, the Kobayashi Maru is in fact a test of character revealed in the choices each man makes -- and does not make.
Discover now how Starfleet Cadets Kirk, Chekov, Scotty, and Sulu each faced the Kobayashi Maru...and became in turn Starfleet officers.
